I'm not quite sure this is available in 3.5, but there is a new way to
set camera properties. Instead of setting them on the camera, try
setting them on the view:
view = GetActiveView()
view.CameraPosition = [-15, 10, 0]
view.CameraFocalPoint = [0, 10, 0]
view.CameraViewUp = [0 ,0, 1]
All settable properties for the view can be printed:
for p in view.ListProperties():
if not view.GetProperty(p).GetInformationOnly(): print p
